Friends That Invest
About this episode

This week, Sim breaks down the K-shaped economy, why the rich are getting richer while everyday households struggle with rising living costs, and what this growing wealth gap means for your money.

Plus, Sim shares practical ways to protect your finances, from paying down high-interest debt and building an emergency fund to investing in index funds and building long-term wealth.
